For compliance, IT, and security teams
The URL shortener that takes
security as seriously as your team does.
Most short-links carry phishing because most shorteners don't check. Mobily runs URL safety scans at create time, again at every click, and refuses VPN-registered accounts entirely — so the links your organization sends are the links your visitors actually expected.
Hosted in Canada, PIPEDA-compliant, audit-trail on every admin action. Currently piloting with Canadian non-profits, municipalities, and regulated SaaS.
Why this matters for your organization
Your visitors don't get burned
Every click triggers a fresh Google Safe Browsing check — even on links created weeks ago whose destinations have since flipped to phishing. Cached for sub-millisecond hits.
Your auditor signs off
Self-service Security Report on every paid dashboard — account verification, flagged links, abuse reports filed against your URLs, click-time defenses fired. One-click CSV export for your compliance team.
Your data stays in Canada
PIPEDA-compliant by design. Data hosted in ca-central-1 (Montreal). Zero cross-border transfers in the link-handling path.

Comparison reflects publicly-available product information as of April 2026. Competitors have varying internal defenses we can't independently verify.
Who this is for
Regulated organizations
Healthcare, finance, government, municipalities — anywhere the question "where is this data hosted?" matters. Audit-ready by design, not by retrofit.
HR & recruiting platforms
Sending links to candidates? Make sure they actually go where you said. Phishing-resistant shortening protects your brand and your candidates' inboxes.
Non-profits
PIPEDA exposure without the budget for enterprise tooling. Mobily is built around the same defenses Fortune-500 demands, priced for smaller teams.
